Angles

In sunlight

And laughter

If it’s boredom

That you’re after

There’s other places to go


How could I not see

Another part of me

How else to be

With perspicacity

Befuddled

Same Day

Monday 16th May

Arrive at The Bothy for one full week

Provisions bought at M&S

So little need for further departures


But absolutely no TV

Even though last night’s 

Sky Arts expose of the Moody Blues

Totally captivated me

Tomorrow

My clumsiness

Is fast approaching

A worrying level


Says he

As his coca-cola bubbles over

And floods all across the table top


Meanwhile

A Fever Tree advertisement

Is read out at The Valley


A particularly uninspiring

Shopping centre

On the outskirts of Evesham


On this grey cloud

Monastic Retreat Monday morning

With three more weeks to go

Dumbleton Walk

I don’t expect

That Dumbleton

Has too many houses

On Right Move

But the Wicket House

Would be fine for me


Now I will check out

The village

For a public house

Because the cricket club

Does not appear to be open

Dumbleton Hall

It is easier

To be together

When we are apart


Can we feel so much more

For each other

With distance between us


The wedding guests

Those who stayed over

Are now leaving


As it was

So it will be

Or that’s how it seems


She sends him to the car

For provisions

And outdoor clothing


She sends him again

For newspapers

And Sunday supplements


She then plays hell with him

For not being steady

As she pours the wine


He does what he is told

Then apologises and apologises

No wonder. he drives a Ford
